The perioperative management has advanced over the years to achieve better outcomes. Several techniques, protocols, and equipment have been developed to ensure patient safety during the perioperative period. The goal of perioperative management is not only to perform a successful surgery, but also to make the whole process very safe and very convenient to the patient, which leads to great patient satisfaction.

We invite investigators to contribute original research articles as well as review articles addressing the advances in perioperative management. Articles can focus on multiple issues related to pain management, anesthetic management in the perioperative period, technology/equipment/ monitors used in the perioperative period, patient safety, patient satisfaction, cost effectiveness, and postoperative follow-up. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Topics related to improving patient outcomes
• Advances in anesthetic techniques
• Role of regional anesthesia in both pain control and operative anethesia
• Advances in airway equipment and techniques
• Perioperative monitoring
• Blood transfusion strategies
• Use of ultrasound and other imaging modalities
• Cost effectiveness, patient safety, and satisfaction
• Updates on the recent advances in perioperative fluid management
